About Yandalux
Yandalux Solar GmbH, founded in 2004 as a planning office in Hamburg, is a project partner for solar energy and water supply, active in Europe and West Africa. The company offers the complete EPC spectrum: site analysis, feasibility studies, financing consulting, design, procurement and logistics, installation and commissioning, system tests (FAT, SAT) as well as operation and maintenance with remote monitoring. The portfolio ranges from grid-connected ground-mounted and rooftop systems (50 kWp to 50 MWp) to mini-grids and hybrid systems for rural electrification (10 kWp to 10 MWp) and battery-based off-grid / solar home systems (250 Wp to 1 MWp) to PV street lighting, solar thermal and solar pumping systems. Another focus is water supply: well drilling and rehabilitation down to 300 m depth with its own drilling fleet in West Africa, hydrogeological assessments, water tanks made of concrete, steel or plastic, as well as water distribution networks, water points and irrigation systems. In addition, Yandalux acts as a specialist wholesaler for PV components. Customers include banks, municipalities, authorities, NGOs, embassies and international organizations such as the World Bank, KfW and FAO. The corporate group comprises the headquarters in Hamburg and seven branches in West and Central Africa.
